Question 1

How much does a full house renovation cost in London?

Accepted Answer

Full gut renovations in London are typically £150–£250 per sq ft for standard spec, £250–£400 per sq ft for premium, and £400–£600 per sq ft for luxury. A standard 3-bed London terrace (1,250 sq ft) runs £180,000–£300,000 all-in. Our estimator gives you a range in 3 minutes based on your scope.

Question 2

How long does a full renovation take?

Accepted Answer

Whole-house renovations are typically 14–22 weeks for a 3-bed, 18–28 weeks for a 4-bed, plus more if you're adding structural work (loft, extension). We schedule weekly progress reviews with you and share updates by WhatsApp or email — you always know where things stand.

Question 3

Can I stay in the house during renovation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope. Single-room or floor-only renovations: usually yes, and we coordinate to protect the rest of the house. Full gut jobs, extensions, or anything affecting electrics/plumbing across the whole property: we strongly recommend alternative accommodation for at least the first 4–6 weeks.

Question 4

Do you handle planning permission and building regulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle Building Control sign-off directly as part of the build. For planning permission (extensions, loft conversions, listed buildings), we work with a trusted architect and planning consultant. Most internal renovations fall under permitted development and need no planning — we'll tell you on the site visit.

Question 5

Do you provide a project manager?

Accepted Answer

Every TB&D renovation has a dedicated project manager from start to finish. You get one phone number, one person who knows every decision, every trade, every deadline. No vanishing subcontractors, no "I'll have to check with the plumber."

Question 6

How do you handle unexpected problems discovered during the build?

Accepted Answer

Rot, asbestos, unsafe wiring, failed plumbing — they happen in every period-home renovation. When we find something we stop, document it, price the fix separately, and you decide how to proceed. No unexpected invoices on handover day.
